Nordic Ware Family Recipes: From Carolyn’s Kitchen

“This recipe is part of a yearly epic cookie baking day. Four friends gather in early December for a crazy 12-14 hr day of baking. The recipe list consists of 8-10 different recipes doubled up to 8 times. Imagine … 4 determined bakers, 2 stand mixers, 10 Half sheets. Pound after pound of sugar, butter, and flour. Cookie cutters, Cookie Stamps, Gel color, and sprinkles galore. The 1 day final cookie count is up to 2000 cookies!”

Directions:

Deconstruct 36 Oreos by placing frosting fillings in one bowl and cookie pieces in another. Mix filling with cream cheese until fully incorporated. Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until crushed (make sure there aren’t any large pieces). Mix crushed Oreos with cream cheese filling until smooth. Take a tablespoon of Oreo mixture, roll in a ball, and place on a cooling grid inside of a big baking sheet. Fill the entire grid. Chill dough truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.

While chilling, melt chocolates in two separate bowls (add coconut oil if semi-sweet chocolate is too thick). When ready, pour chocolate over truffles until fully covered and decorate as desired with crushed candy canes, chocolate drizzle, and sprinkles. Let chocolate cool and settle before serving (chill further if needed). Makes about 24 truffles.
